Factores asociados a la prevención del Alzheimer en adultos del Cantón Morona
Resumen
La investigación está orientada a los factores asociados a la prevención del Alzheimer en adultos del cantón Morona provincia de Morona Santiago, Ecuador. Esta enfermedad neurodegenerativa posee un índice de entre el 60% y el 70% de los diagnósticos con demencia a nivel mundial, lo que sugiere la necesidad de reconocer los elementos relacionados a su prevención. El objetivo es exponer cómo los factores: condición genética, salud cardiovascular, hábitos de nutrición, la actividad física, el estrés crónico, la estimulación cognitiva, la salud mental y la presencia de redes de apoyo a nivel social influyen positivamente contribuyendo a prevenir la enfermedad de Alzheimer. La investigación es no experimental, se aplican modelos de correlación y regresión lineal múltiple. La información se levantó mediante revisión documental y encuestas a una muestra de 221 adultos. Los datos se analizaron utilizando correlación de Sperman y análisis de regresión lineal múltiple. Los resultados como el valor de R2 de 0,830, indican que el modelo posee una alta probabilidad de describir el fenómeno, mientras que el coeficiente de Spearman de 0,826 demuestra una correlación entre los factores asociados y la enfermedad de Alzheimer, concluyendo que los factores asociados inciden de forma directa en la prevención del Alzheimer.
